Lori Ferrins

Professor Lori Ferrins is a Research Associate Professor at Northeastern University. Her research focuses on the development of drugs for intractable diseases, including parasitic neglected tropical diseases, pathogenic free-living amoebae, and antifungal agents. Professor Ferrins’ research uses advanced models of infection to improve the translation of in vitro activity to in vivo efficacy, while also relying on the tenants of phenotypic and target driven optimization. Synthetic organic chemistry, complemented with library design and compound selection drives the optimization program.

Come have a lunch with us and meet two ACS editors in another edition of ACS on Campus: Lori Ferrins – Topic Editor, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry; and Carolina Horta – Associate Editor, ACS Omega. The event will be part of 11th BrazMedChem and 9th BCNP programs. We will discuss valuable tips on how to prepare your manuscript in an efffective way as well as what our editors expect about an impactful paper. In addition, we will talk about Open Access and its impact on the visibility and democratization of scientific knowledge. The ACS on Campus will be held on Oct 25 at 12 PM (local time). All attendees will recieve a lunch box and a certificate. Register here: cvent.me/4K1qLP #ACSonCampus
